I keep hearing about the Tenere having vibes. Mine is plenty smooth at most RPMs and I'm coming off a Goldwing. At 70 MPH I can barely feel the engine. Go figure.

I just ordered their new "Adventure Tour seat". Should arrive by the end of the week. Planning a trip up to PEI and possibly Cape Breton, then on to Newfyland. We'll see how the inspiration hangs in there. Anyway, it better be good because that is all I will have. Stock seat? No way.

Just sent my new unused Givi bars back to Twisted Throttle. The welds looked like someone was coming off a three day bender. Sloppy, actual holes in the welds, piss poor quality. The powder coating was paper thin and rubbed off in small but numerous places. I couldn't bare to put that crap...

There have been rumors of a Can Am leaning three wheeler for a couple of years. That might interest me. Otherwise sitting bolt upright going around curves kind of defeats half the fun IMO.
